2nd I'd say.
It's an audible changeover, you might not 'feel' it if it has been mapped as the aftermarket maps smooth out the changeover which is artificially emphasised by honda to re-create the changeover feeling you got from the old b-series lumps. Mapped k20s generally hit vtec much earlier too, around the 4000rpm mark usually.
You should know when it's changed over, it goes from a semi-civilised sound to an angry wasp on steroids.

You should have a vtec light on the right hand side of the dash next to the speedo when vtec is engaged aswell, standerd vtec should come in at 5650-850ish cant remember exactly. You should definitely feel and hear when your car hits vtec(should have a kind of bark) if not check your oil is ok cause if its to low you will not get any vtec also make sure your car is up to temp before going into vtec aswell
